It's a little known fact that Britain only entered the war due to ideological differences:

Nope.

Germany signed a peace agreement with the Soviets, they had annexed Austria with popular Austrian support, then the Czechs were divided up. France and GB feared another war, one in which Russia was not a friend.

Poland, being were it is, would give the Germans an easy single front to rush through, which they did. The Allies thought guaranteeing Poland would deter Germany, and if not, then the Germans would have to fight on two fronts.

Ultimately, GB and France wanted to secure their spoils from the first war.

You should read a book once in a while.

No, it's true. Britain was very much against national health care too, deeming it a 'continental' idea that they'd have no truck with.

The concept of privatization seemed very much in the air in the late 1970s and
early 1980s. Under prodding by Margaret Thatcher, 5 percent of the shares in
British Petroleum were sold in a public offering in November 1979, the first of the
major flotations in this period (Vickers and Yarrow, 1988, p. 316). My goal here is
not to comment on the merits of privatization as a policy, but rather to investigate
the history of the term “privatization” in economics and to shed some light on the
context in which the word was coined. Although the origin of the term is often
attributed to a 1969 book by Peter Drucker, I will show that this attribution is
incorrect, and that the terminology of privatization played an evolving role in
German economic policy from the 1930s through the 1950s.

Nationalization was particularly important in the early 1930s in Germany.The state
took over a large industrial concern, large commercial banks, and other minor firms.
In the mid-1930s, the Nazi regime transferred public ownership to the private sector.
In doing so, they went against the mainstream trends in western capitalistic countries,
none of which systematically reprivatized firms during the 1930s. Privatization was
used as a political tool to enhance support for the government and for the Nazi Party.
In addition, growing financial restrictions because of the cost of the rearmament
programme provided additional motivations for privatization.

Now police in Greece are on high alert after a new anarchist group claimed responsibility for killing two members of Golden Dawn, a thuggish neo-Nazi group that has both terrorized immigrants on city streets and surged to become Greece’s third most popular political party.
The anarchist faction, calling itself the Militant People’s Revolutionary Forces, wrote in an 18-page proclamation given to local news agencies that the attack was revenge for the fatal stabbing of anti-fascist rapper Pavlos Fissas. The Golden Dawn members were shot to death outside of a party office in Athens earlier this month.

Huh. That's kind of like how some so-called "Conservatives" have been complaining lately that Captain America is "too Liberal" lately, and that with a name like Captain America, he should be promoting "Conservative values."

Dudes, you've clearly never read a Captain America comic.

As one person succinctly put it: "Captain America's true superpower is -- and always has been -- his militantly Progressive outlook; his determination that 'all (wo)men are created equal and deserve to be treated as such'."
